Don’t dwell on that which you cannot control
Often it is easy to focus on the past, what it was like and what worked. The
change does not mean that the past wasn’t working, it means that change is
necessary to survive in today’s world. Focus on small steps or tasks which are
in your control, this gives a sense of achievement. You cannot prevent or stop
change so give attention to that within your control or ability to influence.
Identify your stressors
Make a list of events or situations that sap your mental strength and tactics
you have used to address them and how well they work. Use them as an
opportunity to create your own toolbox of stress relief actions.
